<p>I've been noticing more and more Ajax powered pages where at the end<br />
of the normal page end a call is made to fetch more content and is<br />
added to the bottom of the page, in essence making the page longer on<br />
the fly. A good example of this is on <A href="http://www.haystack.com">http://www.haystack.com</a><br />
Twitter and Facebook do something similar but a button or link is<br />
needed to expand the content. </p>
<p>I can a usability issue with clicking on a link and then having the<br />
back button not return you to the same 'long' page you left from.</p>
